[HELP!] Making Multiple Gates IN one lua Locked to Team

Daz · January 27, 2014

Is it possible to make multiple gates in a single lua

I have tried it and they are interfering with each other and messing up.

Like one gate will teleport to the other etc

If you know how to make multiple gates work in the same lua please help thanks

here is the lua I am using

  
-- 1ST GATE VEHICLE SECTION MILITARY BASE. 
col  = createColTube (110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3) -- enter your cooderates here for your colshape please note 10 and 3 is to do with the size of the shape.  
  
door = createObject ( 980, 110.299, 1756.400, 19.399, 0, 0, 90) -- enter the ID of the object followed by the coordinates 
  
-- note the rotx y and z may not be required so you just remove these. x y and z is where you would put your cordinates. 
  
  
  
function Open ( pla ) 
  
    if ( getElementType ( pla ) == "player" ) then 
  
        local team = getPlayerTeam ( pla ) 
  
        local teamName = ( team and getTeamName ( team ) or "" ) 
  
        if ( teamName == "Desert Eagles" ) then 
  
            moveObject ( door, 2200, 110.299, 1756.400, 25.5 ) -- here is where you enter the coordinatess of the new location of the object, 2200 = the speed of the movent. 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", col, Open) 
  
  
  
function Close ( pla ) 
  
    if ( getElementType ( pla ) == "player" ) then 
  
        local team = getPlayerTeam ( pla ) 
  
        local teamName = ( team and getTeamName ( team ) or "" ) 
  
        if ( teamName == "Desert Eagles" ) then 
  
            moveObject ( door, 2951, 110.299, 1756.400, 19.399 ) -- here is where you copy the coordinates of the orginal location of the object, 2951 = the timer of movent. 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", col, Close ) 
  
  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
  
--2nd Gate 
  
col1  = createColTube (290.600, 1821.400, 17.600, 20, 3) -- enter your cooderates here for your colshape please note 10 and 3 is to do with the size of the shape.  
  
door1 = createObject ( 980, 290.700, 1821.099, 19.399, 0, 0, 89.999) -- enter the ID of the object followed by the coordinates 
  
-- note the rotx y and z may not be required so you just remove these. x y and z is where you would put your cordinates. 
  
  
  
function Open ( pla ) 
  
    if ( getElementType ( pla ) == "player" ) then 
  
        local team = getPlayerTeam ( pla ) 
  
        local teamName = ( team and getTeamName ( team ) or "" ) 
  
        if ( teamName == "Desert Eagles" ) then 
  
            moveObject ( door1, 2200, 290.700, 1821.099, 25.5 ) -- here is where you enter the coordinatess of the new location of the object, 2200 = the speed of the movent. 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", col, Open) 
  
  
  
function Close ( pla ) 
  
    if ( getElementType ( pla ) == "player" ) then 
  
        local team = getPlayerTeam ( pla ) 
  
        local teamName = ( team and getTeamName ( team ) or "" ) 
  
        if ( teamName == "Desert Eagles" ) then 
  
            moveObject ( door1, 2951, 290.700, 1821.099, 19.399 ) -- here is where you copy the coordinates of the orginal location of the object, 2951 = the timer of movent. 
  
        end 
  
    end 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeLeave", col1, Close )

I suggest you to make a table with them, then loop the table and create gates and colshapes.

0xCiBeR · January 27, 2014

I think an example would be:

  
local cols = { 
{110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}, 
{110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3} 
} 
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
local x,y,z,rad,height = unpack(v) 
createColTube(x,y,z,rad,height) 
end

Daz · January 27, 2014

Ok I am very knew to this so I need to make a table that loops ?? would this still follow the same layout you helped me with

for the gates locked to teams.

Daz · January 27, 2014

I think an example would be:

  
local cols = { 
{110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}, 
{110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3} 
} 
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
local x,y,z,rad,height = unpack(v) 
createColTube(x,y,z,rad,height) 
end

with this example how would I make it locked to a team like my original lua if you know?

0xCiBeR · January 27, 2014

You could store the team that it would be locked for in the table as a string.

Daz · January 27, 2014

You could store the team that it would be locked for in the table as a string.

Like this ?

  
 if ( getElementType ( pla ) == "player" ) then 
14.  
15.        local team = getPlayerTeam ( pla ) 
16.  
17.        local teamName = ( team and getTeamName ( team ) or "" ) 
18.  
19.        if ( teamName == "Desert Eagles" ) then

0xCiBeR · January 27, 2014

I meant storing the name you compare in the table like this:

  
local cols = { 
{"TEAM1",110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}, 
{"TEAM2",110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3} 
}

And the unpack would be something like this:

  
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
local teamname,x, y, z, rad,height  = unpack ( v ) 
tubes = createColTube(x,y,z,rad,height) 
setElementData(tubes,"team",teamname) 
end

Daz · January 28, 2014

Hi im sorry I don't understand can somebody show me an example of 2 gates (locked to team)in the same lua.

And which bits I should change thank you if anyone can

0xCiBeR · January 28, 2014

Try something like this...

  
  
local cols = { 
{"Military",110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}, 
{"TEAM2",110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}  
} 
  
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
  
local name,x, y, z, rad,h  = unpack ( v )  
tubes = createColTube(x, y, z, rad,h)  
  
setElementData(tubes,"team",name) 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",tubes, 
  
function (hit,dim) 
  
if getElementType(hit) == 'player' then 
                                          
local team = getPlayerTeam(hit) 
  
local teamname = getTeamName(team) 
  
if 'Military' == getElementData(source,"team") then 
moveObject ( door, 2200, 110.299, 1756.400, 25.5 ) 
end 
end 
end)

DNL291 · January 28, 2014

Try something like this...

  
  
local cols = { 
{"Military",110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}, 
{"TEAM2",110.199, 1757.300, 17, 20, 3}  
} 
  
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
  
local name,x, y, z, rad,h  = unpack ( v )  
tubes = createColTube(x, y, z, rad,h)  
  
setElementData(tubes,"team",name) 
  
end 
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",tubes, 
  
function (hit,dim) 
  
if getElementType(hit) == 'player' then 
                                          
local team = getPlayerTeam(hit) 
  
local teamname = getTeamName(team) 
  
if 'Military' == getElementData(source,"team") then 
moveObject ( door, 2200, 110.299, 1756.400, 25.5 ) 
end 
end 
end)

'tubes' will only return a colshape, since, it's being stored in a variable. Use a table to store each colshape.

Also, 'onMarkerHit' is called only for markers created using createMarker. Use onColShapeHit instead.

Daz · January 28, 2014

I filled out that template you give me maybe I am putting wrong coordinates for different places

but no gate showed

  
  
local cols = { 
  
{"Military",256.399, 1843.699, 9.899, 20, 3}, 
  
{"TEAM2",256.399, 1843.699, 9.899, 20, 3}  
  
} 
  
  
  
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
  
  
  
local name,256.399, 1843.699, 9.899  = unpack ( v )  -----??????? what is this 
  
tubes = createColTube(256.399, 1846.699, 7.900, 5, 3)  
  
  
  
setElementData(tubes,"team",name) 
  
  
  
end 
  
  
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",tubes, 
  
  
  
function (hit,dim) 
  
  
  
if getElementType(hit) == 'player' then 
  
                                          
  
local team = getPlayerTeam(hit) 
  
  
  
local teamname = getTeamName(team) 
  
  
  
if 'Military' == getElementData(source,"team") then 
  
moveObject ( door, 2200, 256.399, 1843.699, 13 ) 
  
end 
  
end 
  
end)

0xCiBeR · January 28, 2014

That's because in my script i asumed you already created the doors. You have to create them using createObject

Daz · January 28, 2014

Still no luck

  
door = createObject ( 3037, 256.399, 1843.699, 9.899, 0, 0, 0) 
  
local cols = { 
  
{"Military",256.399, 1843.699, 9.899, 20, 3}, 
  
{"TEAM2",256.399, 1843.699, 9.899, 20, 3}  
  
} 
  
  
  
for _, v in ipairs(cols) do 
  
  
  
local name,256.399, 1843.699, 9.899  = unpack ( v )  -----??????? what is this 
  
tubes = createColTube(256.399, 1846.699, 7.900, 5, 3)  
  
  
  
setElementData(tubes,"team",name) 
  
  
  
end 
  
  
  
addEventHandler("onMarkerHit",tubes, 
  
  
  
function (hit,dim) 
  
  
  
if getElementType(hit) == 'player' then 
  
                                          
  
local team = getPlayerTeam(hit) 
  
  
  
local teamname = getTeamName(team) 
  
  
  
if 'Military' == getElementData(source,"team") then 
  
moveObject ( door, 2200, 256.399, 1843.699, 13 ) 
  
end 
  
end 
  
end)

Change the event to onColShapeHit as suggested by DNL and store every colShape into a table.

Daz · January 28, 2014

a Looping table? because I can see a guide on youtube for that otherwise I don't really know what im doing

Castillo · January 28, 2014

-- team, object model, position and rotation, move to position

        { "Desert Eagles", 980, { 290.700, 1821.099, 19.399, 0, 0, 89.999 }, { 290.700, 1821.099, 25.5 } } 
    } 
local gateData = { } -- A table to store the gates data

                        mz = mz 
                    } 
            end 
        end 
    end 
) 
  
function onGateColshape ( hitElement, matchD ) 
    if ( matchD ) then -- If the dimension matches 
        local data = gateData [ source ] -- Get the gate data using the colshape as index ( source ) 
        if ( data ) then -- If there was data 
            local team = getPlayerTeam ( hitElement ) -- Get the player team 
            local teamName = ( team and getTeamName ( team ) or "" ) -- Get the team name 
            if ( teamName == data.team ) then -- If the player team matches the gate team 
                if ( eventName == "onColShapeHit" ) then -- If the event name is 'onColShapeHit' 
                    moveObject ( data.object, 2200, data.mx, data.my, data.mz ) -- Open the gate 
                else -- If the event name is 'onColShapeLeave' 
                    moveObject ( data.object, 2200, data.x, data.y, data.z ) -- Close the gate 
                end 
            end 
        end 
    end 
end

I added comments so you know what each line does.

Daz · January 28, 2014

Thank you for writing this code its extremely helpful and I understand it the gates open and close but im struggling to find where I can edit each gates colshape at because they are in weird places

thank you again

0xCiBeR · January 28, 2014

In SolidSnake's script, the colshape are being created at each gate position.

Castillo · January 28, 2014

-- team, object model, position and rotation, move to position 
local gates = 
    { 
        { "Desert Eagles", 980, { 110.299, 1756.400, 19.399, 0, 0, 90 }, { 110.299, 1756.400, 25.5 } }, 
        { "Desert Eagles", 980, { 290.700, 1821.099, 19.399, 0, 0, 89.999 }, { 290.700, 1821.099, 25.5 } } 
    }

There you add/remove/change gates.

Daz · January 28, 2014

The only problem im finding is that the colshape is above ground im trying to change the Z coord for it but doesn't make a difference I think the colshape is spawning itself halfway up the Gate./

local colshape = createColTube ( x, y, z - 1, 10, 17 ) -- Create the gate colshape

Castillo · January 28, 2014

The colshape uses same position as the gate, if it's still too high, change that "z - 1" to "z - 2" or more.

Daz · January 28, 2014

After a lot of experimenting and frustration I got it thanks to you guys I cant THANK YOU ENOUGH it works finallyyyyy

Castillo · January 28, 2014

You're welcome.

0xCiBeR · January 28, 2014

You're Welcome man.
